Last week we went walking in the woods. It was great to welcome along so many family members too. Aside from being plagued by midges, we all had a fun time!

Last week Madame Norel visited Dalbeattie Primary and spent two days visiting the classes. She taught various topics throughout the school including some information and stories about life in France.

and the last day for one of our pupils….
Outdoor Learning in the Upper School
Mrs Graham’s P6/7 maths group ventured outside in the sunshine today to learn all about angles. We created acute, obtuse, right, reflex and straight line angles from shadows our bodies made. We also drew pictures and made group models , finding the angles throughout . Using the cameras , we photographed as many different and unusual angles as we could . Photos to follow!

On Wednesday 23rd of May, Dalbeattie Tennis club visited Dalbeattie Learning Campus. Keith Thom from the club and Amy Bradbury from Active Schools, spoke with some children from P1-S3 about all the great work that is going on at the Tennis Courts in Dalbeattie.

Nursery Visit the Day Centre
The afternoon children had a lovely time making new friends at the Day Centre today. This was our second visit and we plan to make these trips regularly from now on as they are so worthwhile.
We took along some activities we do in nursery and shared them with the ladies and gentlemen who were there. We all had lots of fun and it was great to see the two very different generations interacting!
Scottish Opera workshop
On Thursday 10th May Primary 6 and 7 were visited by Jude from Scottish Opera to teach them a little more about the background of their upcoming Scottish Opera performance.
Jude taught the classes some Mandarin words and the children explored the history of Emperor Zhu Di.
Thank you Jude.
